Download & Go Series: Whale Tales and Contest

Download & Go Series: Whale Tales is a 83 page lesson plan that encompasses all aspects of learning about the giant animals—Whales. This lesson plan includes:

Daily ObjectivesBook SuggestionsIntroduction to LapbookingDay 1—What is a Whale?Day 2—Getting to Know WhalesDay 3—Where are the Whales?Day 4—The Science of WhalesFun Family Ideas

This series is a full color, one-week in length comprehensive teaching tool that requires absolutely no preparation. There are a few inexpensive supplies needed for completion of this program, such as a file folder, glue stick, scissors (or safety scissors, depending on child’s age), brass brads, and either crayons or markers.

In Whale Tales children will investigate whales and learn about what they eat, what sounds it makes, where it lives, what the Bible says about Whales (including the story of Jonah), the anatomy of whales, the different kinds of whales, the history of whales, and in addition the geography of oceans.

This Series is designed to teach unit studies to all ages of children. The ones I used it on were age eight and age five. I didn’t have any problem making the subject matter adaptable for the five year old, while allowing my eight year old to use the pages I printed. I did make additional photocopies of some of the pages so both girls could use them. An answer key is included, as well as web sites you can visit for more information.

If you are looking for an easy, colorful, relatively cheap answer for unit studies about whales then Download & Go series Whale Tales is something to consider. Available at: www.downloadngo.com/WhaleTales.
